Yes government could of course be replaced by any number of voluntary systems.

Not in our lifetime though, in the West we are fast approaching the crunching point at  least in West Europe where either we approach tyranny or government contraction. Guess what the public, sorry informed voters choose in this situation?

The balance is in letting the tax cattle believe they are free enough so they keep producing to support the myriad parasite classes.

Alts would be interesting.. But how do you decide which one?

Is the pen scanner a wacom?

I'll contact the Op to check, thanks... Looks fine to me though?

You'll generally get a better price on eBay, at least from what I've seen. But good luck! Maybe I'll pop an offer at some point.

Heard you can bet on sick stuff like this on the deepweb.. Why post this?

Hey bitcoininformation. Good luck with the campaign.

This could potentially happen. I do not know how they mitigate this risk. Perhaps they plan certain amounts of contingency time into their business model?

It would be ridiculous if he didn't pay, but stranger things have happened.

Damn,  a lot of this is tempting. Keeping an eye on it.

Come on you auction addicts! These are some great gifts :-)

Crash? We need to break below $400 for a 'crash' and then $260 for some serious bloodletting. No signs of that yet.

PMd. Happy to provide remainder of 0.35 with collateral. Waiting to hear back.

I get where you are coming from, but cloud hashing is what you will always be compared to when ROI (or lack of) is involved.

Glad to see there is some interest! Thanks

I'm auctioning off 10 of the imperfect strikes- most look fine just upon very closer inspection there may be some smudges, many just like the one in this picture.

Postage in the UK £3, International £6.

Starting bid 0.001BTC

If the bidding goes well I'll throw in a few extra coins too.

Alot of coins have been implementing decentralised exchanges, sounds good.

Good luck with your business.

If I was a millionaire, not so sure I'd want to announce to the UK government I'm a bitcoin millionaire...

On topic, I saw a guy online accepting bitcoin for renting his canal boat.

I completely get where you're coming from, in my opinion it's not about playing god- it's about where limited resources can be applied productively. Blasting through a balance sheet because 'human life is priceless' serves no purpose other than to balm the conscience of people (and destroy productivity), who are mostly doing nothing to better the world and are content to point at symptoms (corporations) and not causes (government interference). Dictating what others should do is most of what's wrong with western culture today.

The prescription drug companies are working in their best interests. They can profit from regulatory capture and become rent seekers (treatment providers) rather than problem solvers (cures). Not to mention ebola probably isn't high on the list of diseases to be overcome (isolation is the best containment of ebola outbreak, perhaps 3rd world countries could do some of that?).

There is a price on human life- that's nature. I don't like it either, but this is the world, we all need to eat, to have shelter, nothing is free. More important things get more funding, like cancer for instance. Or doesn't even need to be 'more important' by any standard, whatever shit is fashionable right now may get more funding- take that tsunami in Japan, people gave because they cared, the country did not necessarily need the money though.

It sucks that people are dying, but it's a fraction of those who die from flu every year. Do you see where dictated moral standards can lead?
